Here are some other deals for National Doughnut Day, June 2, 2017:

Participating Krispy Kreme shops around the country are offering free doughnuts (while they last) to anyone who stops by:

Dunkin Donuts customers can get a free classic doughnut with the purchase of a beverage;

And certain Cumberland Farms stores are offering a free doughnut with beverage purchase deal as well.

If you do get a free doughnut, be sure to eat it. Otherwise it may end up like this doughnut dating back to 1890, which is in the collection of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.

I know it looks like a bagel, but it is a doughnut. Here’s the story:

“A few days before her 12th child was born in January 1890, 43-year old farmwife Sarah Faught made a batch of doughnuts for her family. Sarah died five days after childbirth. Her mourning family saved some of Sarah’s doughnuts in her memory. Sarah’s descendants passed this one–a very personal symbol of a mother’s love and of her loss–from generation to generation for 122 years, along with its story.”
